Project Serve
Many children were sent home from orphanages during the pandemic. Why? Well, that question is difficult to answer. Children in orphanages often have parents that are unable to care for them properly, but their rights have not fully been terminated. During the pandemic, the government pushed them out of the orphanages and back to families. We don't want to speculate or try to understand the reasons for all of this as every situation is different.
What do we want to do? Preserve families! When the orphanages reopen, we want families to stay together. Camp LELA is going to assist families this summer. Each family has a different need. Some need food, some need better living conditions, some need electricity and water back on, some need family counseling, and so on. We are going to step into their situation and help.

6 Teams - 12 Families
Six teams will go out to families during June and the beginning of July. A team will meet the first two days at Camp LELA to serve on the grounds, learn about how God calls us to serve, and to prepare. The next three days they will be with a family teaching Bible lessons, gardening, cleaning, painting, building, counseling, and assessing additional needs. Then they return to camp for a day of rest and go out again to another family for three days.
Our goal is to help these families become more stable and to have a home suitable for the children.

FUNDS
We have raised some funds, but the remaining funding need for Camp LELA 2020 is $40,000 to host up to 400 children and to help 18 families.
We know that this is a big goal, but we believe that God is directing us to trust Him for big things.
